Once you’ve chosen your bike, it’s time to explore the many itineraries and cycle paths that Grimaud and the surrounding area have to offer. For vacations close to Port Grimaud, these routes offer privileged access to the Var countryside.
The Coastal Cycling Trail
The Parcours Cyclable du Littoral (V65) is a must: this 6.5 km, safe, level trail runs along the Gulf of Saint-Tropez from Port Grimaud to Sainte-Maxime. Ideal for pedaling while admiring the lakeside town, nicknamed “Little Venice of Provence”, and its lively beaches. Start from the Port Grimaud Sud Tourist Office for a smooth ride.
The Grimaud / Port Grimaud trail
For a mix of heritage and nature, the Grimaud / Port Grimaud trail (6 km) traces a bucolic route between the medieval village and the modern city. Follow little-frequented country lanes, with views over the hills of the Var, and allow around 40 minutes’ drive to link the two sites. Departure point near the Kennel Club or the village Tourist Office.
Mountain bike trails
When it comes to mountain biking, Grimaud has some challenging trails, such as La Garde Freinet – Grimaud (16 km), a demanding route through the Maures mountains, where the routes listed on Visugpx are classified by difficulty (from family green to expert black). Lovers of more leisurely loops will appreciate routes such as Vallon du Pont des Fées or La Calade, where some cycle paths offer unique panoramas. These routes allow you to discover Grimaud and the surrounding area, from Cogolin to Saint-Tropez, at your own pace.
